WNBA

The Biden administration has determined that Russia is wrongfully detaining WNBA star, Brittney Griner. That means that the United States will more aggressively work to secure her release even as the legal case against her plays out. In addition, the WNBA will feature Griner’s initials and jersey number on the sideline of all 12 WNBA courts to begin the 2022 season.

COLLEGE

After Tuesday’s round at the Brookside Country Club, the Texas A&M University-Commerce women’s golf remains in the top four in the NCAA West Regional Championships.

The Texas A&M University-Commerce women’s track & field team rose in the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) National Ratings Index to be rated No. 7. In contrast, the men’s team holds steady at No. 3 in Division II.

HIGH SCHOOL

Carlisle ISD will have a new athletic director, but the Indians program will be staying in the family. Rocky Baker has decided to retire, and his son Clay will take over the position. The elder Baker has coached in East Texas for 29 years, with stops in Henderson, Kilgore, Tatum, and Carlisle.

The State Executive Committee of the University Interscholastic League met Tuesday and ruled that Gunter High School’s student-athlete did not change schools for athletic purposes. They denied a second Gunter student-athlete for varsity eligibility, upholding the previous ruling of the district executive committee.
